Meet Barbie’s sassy little sister, Skipper, now expanded into our full 2-34, A-H cup size range! This fabulous knit pattern can be made as a bodysuit or dress. Skipper has a wide scoop neckline and the option of elasticized puff sleeves or cap sleeves. The dress option has a straight skirt that is so Bettie Page, and the bodysuit has a full-coverage bottom with a snap closure at the crotch.
Even better? Skipper also interchanges with our Barbie Top pattern (Patreon, January 2021) to maximize your options with the mock turtleneck and 4 additional sleeve options (band, short, three-quarter, and long). You can also use the lower half of the Barbie Top to turn Skipper into a hip-length top. Don’t forget to watch this month’s video to earn your badge in sewing knits and get lots of tips on adjusting the pattern.
xoxo, Gertie
